The New Bethlehem Project recognizes Christ’s call to serve the poor by being a driving force to meet the urgent, unmet need for a year-round, 24/7 emergency shelter for families who are experiencing homelessness on the Eastside. The project’s 3 phases include :

☑Phase 1 - New Bethlehem has welcomed over 600 individuals experiencing homelessness since opening in November 2016

☑ Phase 2 - Extended the overnight Eastside Emergency Winter Shelter for families. Because of this, 313 individuals did not have to sleep outside from May to October 2017.

☐ Phase 3 - Building a permanent, 24/7 emergency shelter for families who are experiencing homelessness on the Eastside – in progress with fund development, design and construction.
